Verse 1

G Em Grace Cathedral hill, all wrapped in the C bones of a setting sun, all dust and stone D and moribund. I paid twenty five cents to D7 G light a little white candle for a New Year's Em Day. I sat and watched it burn away then C turned and weaved through the slow decay. D D7 We were both a little hungry so we went G Em to get a hotdog. Down the Hyde St. Pier, the light was slight and C D dissapeared. The air, it sunk of fish and beer. We heard D7 a superman trumpet play the National Anthem.

Verse 2

G Em Some way to greet the year: your eyes all C bright and brimmed with tears. The D pilgrims, pills and tourist here all sing D7 "Fifty three bucks to buy a brand new halo." G Em I'm sweet on a green eyed girl, all fiery C Irish clip and curl, all brine and piss and D D9 vinegar. I paid twenty five vents to light a little white candle.
